103 Drunkenness
Yingxin looked quite uncomfortable when she was tilted, she turned sideways, cocked Erlang's legs in disguise, cleared her throat and said, "Look, what are you looking at, how can you forget it for a few days?"
Leaning his hand to support his chin, he looked her up and down, left and right, and swallowed slowly, "It's rare to look like a famous girl, although it's a little strange, but it's ......."
Tilting deliberately dragged out the tone, and when he saw Yingxin unconsciously leaning over again, he smiled: "It's very good-looking." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yingxin glared at her, but she didn't know what to think, and her cheeks flushed. Fingers stroked the embroidery on the cuffs, muttering: "It's not my dad yet, isn't there just a guest, as for that, as if I would embarrass him."
No wonder! When I thought of the battle outside, I don't know what kind of person it would be that could make City Lord Zhou so cautious?
But without waiting for her to think about it, Yingxin had already relieved herself from the discomfort just now, and the complaints were overwhelming, "You little conscience, you know that I can't get out, and you don't say anything about taking the initiative to come to see me for so long." If I hadn't begged my dad to pick you up today, wouldn't you be going to see me? ……”
It's hard to talk about being sent back by Feiyan that night, let alone the troubled mood of this time, so I had to beg for mercy and say a lot of good things, so I finally coaxed this unforgiving aunt and grandmother.
"I still wonder how I bothered to go to the second steward of the house, what about your little follower?"
Yingxin has always felt that the guards arranged for her by the city lord of Zhou are redundant, but in the eyes of the court, these guards are very conscientious, no matter how harsh Yingxin asks, even if it goes against the will of the city lord of Zhou, they will strictly follow it. This is also the respect that the city lord of Zhou has for his daughter, since it is assigned to her, he has to be ordered by her.
Yingxin was rarely silent, and only said after a while: "This time it's my fault, because of this, he took the initiative to receive the punishment, and he is still lying on the bed and can't get up." Obviously, I didn't want him to follow, but he punished himself because of me, and pounced, why are people not free when they grow up. ”
Because of responsibility! The more responsibilities, the more restraints. Tilting sighed and didn't speak, everyone understands the reason, and Yingxin is only a momentary emotion. City Lord Zhou has always done his best to give her the greatest freedom, perhaps because of guilt, perhaps to make amends, or perhaps because he knows that he can't protect her forever. But she could no longer have greater freedom, because her identity meant that she could not do what she wanted.
The thought of such a move by the taciturn and easily shy guard couldn't help but be a little impressed. Perhaps this is what the city lord of Zhou is worthy of admiration, he has a group of responsible and responsible soldiers under his command, and it is precisely because of them that the people of Linzhou can live and work here in peace and contentment.
This seemingly extremely ordinary thing made Ying Xin feel guilty, but it was also an opportunity for her to change her freewheeling mistakes in the future.
"Okay," he shook her hand, "He also has his duties, you can be better to him in the future, and Brother Yan will also let people take care of him." Let's not talk about these unhappy people, I'll stay with you for a day today. ”
Yingxin took a breath and barely bothered to muster up, "That's what you said." ”
*****
The cook in Yingxin's family is a fat cook, who has been in the Zhou Mansion for more than 20 years, and has watched Yingxin grow up little by little.
When she learned that the young lady, who had been losing her appetite recently, asked her to prepare a few dishes in the afternoon, she was so happy that she accidentally prepared a table of wine.
The banquet was set up in a water pavilion by the lake. When night falls, the corridor connecting the water pavilion is full of all kinds of lanterns, and the lights are reflected on the surface of the lake, which is lively and misty. The breeze on the lake is blowing, sparkling, and the sparkling waves reflect the starlight in the sky, and the color of the water and sky is confusing.
Leaning his hands on the railing, he only felt top-heavy, and everything in front of him spun violently. I wanted to let go of the wine, but I didn't want to make her more dizzy in the future. She shook her head vigorously and breathed a sigh of relief in the lake breeze.
Yingxin leaned back on the chair and muttered to himself, a few wine bottles were placed crookedly in his hand, the two of them had not used much of the food, and the wine had been fully drunk.
"You, what do you mean by my father? I knew that I liked Brother Yan, but I didn't say anything, and I didn't say whether I was in favor or against. But you know what? Since this guest who came from nowhere to live in the house, my father has been rare and courteous, not only asking me to accompany me at the banquet, but also asking me to learn some rules. "Huh," she snorted, staggered up from her chair, and walked with a stride, "Walking?" I've been walking for more than ten years, and for the first time I know that I can't even walk, it's really the world's biggest, and it's all wonderful. ”
Yingxin said with great indignation, and accidentally took a bigger step and almost tripped up. Seeing that she was angry, she was about to tear off her dress and hurriedly pressed her to sit in her position, "Don't go crazy, this is still outside?" ”
Yingxin smiled nonchalantly, burying her face in her sleeve, "Tilt, do you say that my father wants to marry me to Beijing." ”
Without waiting for Tilt to answer, she said in a low voice: "That son is good-looking, and I won't suffer a loss if I marry him." If Brother Yan really doesn't want me, I will marry and go to the capital, I heard that it is lively there, and I will not be too lonely. ”
Listening to it was uncomfortable, when did Yingxin, who had never been high-spirited, show such discouragement? It's not that I haven't heard her reveal her thoughts in the past, but in the end, she relied on a little sobriety and self-esteem, and a few words were brought over, but today's wine blurred her mind, and finally poured out her inner turmoil thoroughly.
Tilting back a few steps back to the railing, the wine gradually spread, the body was hot, the picture in front of him was blurry and distorted, but the wine in the past two years had not been in vain, and the seven meat and eight vegetables were dizzy, and the face was still serious.
"Lively! Of course it's lively! How can three wives and four concubines not be lively! Yingxin, you are smart, but your scheming may not be as good as a girl in a big family in the capital. What kind of place is the capital? Have you ever seen a person who eats without spitting out bones? Here you are the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion, you say the same, the lord of Zhou, the son of Shan holds you, and the guards below let you, but you marry to the capital, the husband is your heaven, he likes you and stays in your room for a night, and if he doesn't like you, he will hang you for two years, except for him, everyone else is eager to drag you back. You say you envy the goshawk in the sky? When you arrive in the capital, all you can see is the sky above you, not to mention the goshawk, you are at most a house bird trapped in a cage. Yingxin, in this way, do you still want to say that if you can't marry Brother Yan, you will marry to the capital? ”
Her eyes were amazingly bright, and her tone was much higher than usual because of the drinking, and she looked at her in a daze, knowing that she was probably scaring herself, but she was still curious about where the natural words in her words came from.
"Without Brother Yan, your Zhou Yingxin wouldn't be Zhou Yingxin? Yingxin, don't be stupid, no one can live without anyone. There are so many men in the world, can't we find someone who is single-minded about ourselves? Do what you have to hang yourself from a tree. ”
Ying Xin was dumbfounded, and wondered if the person in front of him was the one who was dumping himself, but before he could see it clearly, a wave of pride and ambition suddenly surged into his heart. She walked to the side of the leaning in a few steps, supported the railing with both hands, leaned over and shouted: "That is, what is so great about men, I will want you to see it in the future, and women are not all stubborn." I can't see that this girl's good is that you are clumsy, and sooner or later you will regret it, stupid man! ”
Those who listened to it laughed and applauded. Yingxin suddenly felt inspired, and was about to make persistent efforts to express his feelings, when suddenly there was a shout from the corridor: "Shut up."
Yingxin saw a few vague shadows pacing towards this side unhurriedly, and then realized that this might be the voice of his father. She had always been fearless in front of him, so she didn't feel afraid, except for a little disappointment.
She leaned on top of Tilt and finally asked a question, "Tilt, how do you know so much?" ”
He smiled, raised his index finger and pointed at himself, "Because that girl is me." ”
Yingxin nodded "oh", "So you think I'm stupider than you!" ”
He pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word, and at this moment several people had already walked up.
Zhou Chengzhi looked at the wine and food on the table, and then looked at the two girls with red cheeks and bright eyes, but they were obviously delirious, and sighed secretly.
Quietly glancing at the slightly taller figure behind him, he cleared his throat, wanting to reprimand but couldn't bear it, his voice was much more perfunctory, "Nonsense, how can you drink so much wine in a good manner, and you don't see what time it is." ”
"What does it matter what time of day," Yingxin turned to hold her father's arm and sneered, "There are no outsiders in our family except you and me, Dad, my daughter is happy today, you don't care, go back and rest early." ”
He suppressed his voice, "Leave it alone? Is it just your girl's house babbling and yelling in the middle of the night? Unorthodox. You don't care about your reputation by yourself, but you can't save it, why don't you want to think about her not returning so late, isn't the family in a hurry? ”
"Dad, we're all such big people, so there's nothing to worry about. But it's really not convenient to go back tonight, why don't you call someone to her house and say it, let her live here tonight, and send her back tomorrow morning. ”
He sighed lowly, this daughter must be a debt he owed in his previous life, and he can't control it. If he had said a few words in the past, but now there are others around him, and they can hear those amazing words clearly.
Seeing that Ying Xinxian still didn't pay attention to who was in front of him, he frowned slightly, and was about to say a few more words, when he suddenly heard the human: "The two girls have a frank temperament, so the city lord of Zhou should not be angry." The wind by the lake was cold, and the city lord still wanted someone to send the two girls back to the room, so as not to catch a cold. ”
This person's voice was clear, as cool as jade, and the two of them immediately looked over.
There was a man standing outside the water pavilion, tall and broad-shouldered, with a straight posture, and the moonlight slanted down from behind, casting his slender figure on the ground, pulling the old man. As for the appearance, the two of them didn't see it clearly.
Zhou Chengzhi's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this, his expression was obviously relaxed, and he arched his hand and said, "I'm really embarrassed, let Wang ...... Childe smiled. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the tilt, and saw her half-leaning against the railing, her eyes were foggy, and it was obvious that she was half-drunk. Waving her hand and signaling the maid who was guarding in the distance to help the two go back, who knew that as soon as she touched the tilt, her face suddenly changed, and she broke free and covered her lips and hurried out.
After only a few steps, she felt that it was dark in front of her, and while she stabilized her figure, something sounded behind her in an instant, like an exclamation, and like a sharp gasp, she didn't hear it clearly, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to it. A gust of night wind was blowing outside the water pavilion, and it was eagerly inhaling the cool air, trying to lower the unbearable dizziness and nausea.
Until some kind of vague aroma came with the wind, he clenched his fists and couldn't control it anymore.
